Opening SRB2 wads

[Neotails8762 and Tia8761]

So far, I've only got the demo version v1.09 and I was wondering, how do I open other wads into SRB2?
Would I be able to open standard Doom2 Wads with it?

You probably could open Doom wads in SRB2, but they likely wouldn't run correctly.

I just tried opening a Doom hack of mine in SRB2, but got the default SRB2.

....well this is SRB2, not Doom so that's probobly why =P

Well SRB2 has some weird connection with Doom, so...

 

[Neotails8762 and Tia8761]

In theory, they SHOULD work...

I could think of a few reasons why it won't work

-it has no map header(?)

-all the linedef effects and sector effects were from Doom so SRB2 couldn't read them.

-monsters and textures.

Means jack, it'd just use the standard definitions. Trust me, I've made enough WADs to know.

Everything else he said is right, though. SRB2 isn't backwards-compatible with DOOM, too much has been changed.

Ah, but:
- When playing ZTeimat's version, walking over a linedef caused the floor to collapse.
- I opened ZTeimat's version in Doom Builder, and it came up with the monsters in the right place.

Neotails, SRB2's code has strayed so far from the original port that it is no longer compatible with any other Doom game. There's a difference between SRB2 WADs and Doom WADS.

 

[Neotails8762 and Tia8761]

Oh. OK..

Doom wad to srb2 = works sort of

srb2 to doom = nope
